Limited number of lists

We are limited to 999 (or 1,000?) lists on our profile. As someone who makes polls (and has nearly 400 published) keeping the number of lists under that that threshold is very tough. Is it possible to allow more lists per person?

Per our list FAQ: Is there a limit to the number of entries on a list, or to how many lists I can create? There is no limit on the number of lists you can create, or the number of items per list. Watchlists, however, cannot extend beyond 10,000 titles.

In addition, I have reviewed your account's lists and see that you are already over the 1,000 mark. Are you encountering some sort of error that is prohibiting your from adding more? If so, what does the error state exactly?

Jen, after further review of your lists, I can confirm that while you have created over 1,000 lists, many of them have been deleted by you over time, which would confirm what you referenced above; that you currently have less than 1,000 lists.

I've forwarded this information regarding the error you're experiencing to our technical team for further investigation. We will notify you via this thread when more information is received.

Thank you in advance for your patience. We look forward to assisting you further.

Yes. I have created more than 1000 lists. But at any one time a person can only have 999 saved lists. In order to make more after I reached that 999 threshold, I have deleted some off my list. See the screen grab I attached.

Our technical team has confirmed that a user can only maintain 999 active lists at one time. Please know that we are processing a correction immediately for the out-of-date information that was previously reported in our List FAQ here:

Claire, just to clarify (ha!), I have deleted several lists so that I can continue to make new ones. But I'd prefer not to have to do that. And at some there will be no superfluous lists I can be able to delete, at which point I really NOT be able to make any new lists. Additionally, I have already spent several hours identifying lists that could be deleted.

Thank you for the information. It's quite disappointing that we can't make more than 999 lists. I have at least 20 more actors/directors/writers/producers/etc that I want to make lists for. Hopefully we will be able to make more someday. I have spent so much time creating these lists for myself and others to enjoy and would love to be able to make more eventually.

Claire, that was why I posted the problem in the first place. This entire thread was trying to be able to have more than 999 lists.

When I reached the limit for the first time, I was lucky to have like 40-50 lists that were unfinished, some polls concept I didn't push further or lists that had no reason to be kept. But a few weeks later, I had the same problem, I still could get rid of 10-15 lists. Now, whenever that happens, there are only 1 or 2 removable lists. Basically, i'm only working on the suggestions that didn't go live before.

This is not merely an inconvenience. Both Sdk ElMaruecan (ElMaruecan82) and Jen (yrnej) are two of the most prolific poll authors with 335 and 397 live polls and 728,920 and 600,381 votes respectively. Polls are derived from lists. Live polls cannot be updated unless the list upon which this list is created is retained.

Limiting the number of lists for a user to 999 is already adversely affecting the IMDb polls.
